Hi guys,
Bought new house in January. Used old owners pool guy, charged me $175 a month and didn't do much. Finally he lied to me and charged me $100 to clean my filters and never did. I let him go and I found this site!
Other members have been helpful in getting a new heater and pump. Now I just bought the TF-100 kit and tested my water for the first time.
FC: 7
CYA: 90 or so (the whole black dot thing is still a little tough for me to get, but its at least 90 or even 100)
PH: 7.8 ish (is the only way matching the colors? It seems tough for me to get it exactly right)
TA: 90
My question is why is my CYA so high? Is it because the pool guy only came once a week and could only add chemicals once a week? Do I need to drain water? If so, how? Some type of pump?
Thanks!
